Machined Parts

CNC, an acronym for computer numerical control, defines the technology behind CNC machining,

where various machining processes are directed and controlled by a computer.

This computerized automation facilitates the production of parts with increased speed, accuracy,

precision, and the ability to achieve more complex geometries compared to manual machining

methods.

Additionally, CNC machining reduces the need for labor-intensive manual machining tasks that

would otherwise be carried out by humans. Although individuals are not physically machining each

part, their role is crucial in programming and operating the CNC machines, ensuring the seamless

execution of every operation.

Product Details

In the realm of CNC machining's turning process, metals take center stage, boasting a diverse

lineup that includes alloy steel, carbon steel, cast iron, stainless steel, aluminum, copper,

magnesium, and zinc.

However, the CNC turning process extends its reach beyond metals, showcasing its flexibility by

seamlessly machining plastic parts. Furthermore, CNC turning proves its adaptability by working

with an array of materials such as ceramics, composites, thermoplastics, and thermosets.

This broad material compatibility underscores the capability of CNC turning to meet the intricate

demands of various manufacturing applications.

Here is a comprehensive overview of the most popular materials.

FAQ's

1. Why choose CNC machining?

The choice of CNC machining is characterized by its speed, precision, and versatility.

This manufacturing solution distinguishes itself by efficiently producing end-use parts across

various volumes, all without the necessity for significant investments in hard tooling or

elaborate set-ups.

2. How long does delivery time and quotation take?

The delivery time for parts is intricately tied to their complexity. Low-complexity parts usually

have a lead time of 2-3 days, while moderate complexity extends to 2-5 days. High-complexity

parts may necessitate a lead time ranging between 5 and 15 days.

Quoting time is also linked to design complexity, ranging from 1 business day or faster for

simpler designs to 3+ business days for more intricate ones. If you have a design that requires

assessment and quoting, do not hesitate to contact our team.

3. What are the advantages of CNC machining?

CNC machining offers a spectrum of advantages, prominently featuring rapid prototyping and

the expedited production of full-scale parts. Its hallmark is the ability to achieve exceptional

precision and accuracy in manufacturing, catering to tight tolerances for CNC parts of diverse

sizes.

This method stands out for its flexibility, influencing factors such as volume, pricing, lead times,

and the array of materials and finishes available.

4. What are standard machining tolerances?

Standard machining tolerances are set at ± 0.005" or 0.13mm, delineating the acceptable range

for dimensions. For example, if a CNC machining tool carries a tolerance of ± 0.01 mm, it signifies

a permissible deviation of 0.01 mm in each cutting operation.

Leveraging a provided drawing, our CNC machining service can attain part tolerances as precise

as ± 0.0002 in. In cases where no drawing is available, all CNC parts adhere to our ISO 2768

medium standard.

Projects requiring even tighter tolerances, such as ±0.025mm or ±0.001", can be accommodated

with an engineering drawing specifying critical features.
